Following a stunning Lions victory over the Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday to close the NFL’s regular season, running back Jamaal Williams capped a memorable night with an unforgettable postgame interview following Detroit’s 20–16 win.
Williams, who spent his first four seasons with Green Bay, returned to his old stomping grounds to help the Lions topple their NFC North rival and prevent Aaron Rodgers and Co. from returning to the postseason. Williams stamped the huge win with a two-touchdown performance to pass Hall of Famer Barry Sanders’s franchise record (16) for the most rushing scores in a season; the sixth-year pro also went over the 1,000-yard mark in the win for the first time in his career.
After the game, an emotional Williams spoke to NBC sideline reporter Melissa Stark and dedicated his big day to his 92-year-old great grandfather, who recently passed away.
